Special limited-edition ride cymbal commemorating 20 years of A Custom brilliance — featuring a cream-white logo, unique anniversary trademark, and the signature blend of clarity, shimmer, and balance that defines the A Custom sound.
DETAILS
To celebrate two decades of A Custom innovation, Zildjian released this commemorative 21” Anniversary Ride. It’s everything players love about the A Custom series — versatile, brilliantly finished, and designed with symmetrical hammering for balance across dynamic styles.
Whether you're laying down crisp articulation in a fusion group, playing bright rock accents, or voicing intricate bell patterns in Latin music, this ride delivers. Its medium-thin profile ensures sensitivity without losing presence — and the limited-edition aesthetics make it a standout both sonically and visually.
This cymbal is unplayed and in mint condition — collector-worthy, yet fully performance-ready.

Genre Match
Rock / Pop / CCM 4/5
→ Articulate ride definition, bright bell for clarity in modern worship and pop rock.
Latin / Funk / Fusion 4/5
→ The loud bell is ideal for clave-based patterns, while the body stays responsive for syncopation and ghost-note textures.
Jazz / Indie / Experimental 3/5
→ Not as dry as jazz players might prefer, but its wash and shimmer lend character to modern or eclectic styles.
R&B / Gospel / Hip-Hop 4/5
→ Great stick attack and bell clarity for pocket grooves, loops, and syncopated hi-hat-to-ride transitions.
Metal / Prog / Hardcore 3/5
→ Can cut through in lighter metal genres, but not as heavy or sharp as dedicated metal rides. Better suited for technical or melodic prog.
